A Week of Deep Rest, Renewal & Embodied Wellbeing
In a world that constantly asks us to do more, achieve more, and move faster, true wellbeing begins with the ability to slow down.
Back to Balance is a luxury seven-day retreat designed to help you reconnect with yourself, restore your energy, and create a deeper sense of inner calm.
Set in the breathtaking surroundings of Villa Acqua di Mare in Mykonos, this intimate retreat combines the ancient wisdom of yoga with modern nervous system regulation practices, creating a deeply restorative experience for body, mind, and soul.
This is not simply a holiday.
It is an invitation to pause, breathe, release accumulated stress, and return to a state of balance.
A Holistic Approach to Nervous System Restoration
Your nervous system is the foundation of how you experience life — your energy, emotions, resilience, sleep, and ability to feel present.
Throughout the week, you will be guided through practices designed to support relaxation, self-regulation, and a deeper connection with your body.
Each morning begins with a 75-minute Hatha Flow Yoga practice, combining mindful movement, breath awareness, and embodied presence.
Afternoons are dedicated to deep restoration through:
Yin Yoga to release tension and support relaxation
Yoga Nidra for profound relaxation and nervous system recovery
Gentle Breathwork to support calm and clarity
Meditation practices to cultivate presence and inner awareness
Sound Healing with singing bowls to support deep relaxation and energetic balance
You will also have dedicated time to integrate your experience, explore the island, enjoy the Mediterranean surroundings, or simply rest by the pool.
